Cleantech Business Accelerator Is Looking for Its Class of 2014

Is there a napkin sketch of a brilliant cleantech idea on your desk? Want to get your startup out of the garage and into the headlines? Know someone who does?
If you answered yes, the largest cleantech accelerator in the country is looking for you. Teams receive training, mentoring, investor attention and publicity.

The Cleantech Open is also a contest for the most promising cleantech startup ideas. Prizes, a mix of cash and in-kind services, are awarded from $10,000 regionally to a National Grand Prize valued at $200,000.

Teams applying online by midnight March 1st qualify for the accelerator’s “super early bird” application fee of $40. A brief application is all that’s required by March 1 to qualify for the discounted application fee; then you’ll have two months to flesh out the rest of your submission. The final deadline for completed submissions is May 1st, 2014, at which point the fee will have gone up to $140.
